Excerpt from Memorials of Methodism in Virginia: From Its Introduction Into the State in the Year 1772 to the Year 1829
Soon after the writer of this volume entered the ministry, now above twenty-five years, he conceived the purpose of writing a history of Methodism in Virginia. The field was large, and its exploration vastly more difficult than youthful ardor had imagined. But it was extremely inviting, and promised a rich reward to patient research. The main difficulty lay in the collection of suitable materials. These reposed in the memories of the older ministers and members, or were scattered through the Journals of Asbury and the detached writings of his contemporaries and successors.
To the applications made to those who were familiar with the early history of our Church in Virginia, he received the most favorable responses, and to these contributions the author is indebted for many of the most interesting incidents in this volume. Most fortunately, the family of Rev. Stith Mead placed in his hands the manuscript Journal of that eminently useful man, extending through a period of nearly forty years. This was found to contain a record of facts in connection with early Methodism of the greatest value, besides copies of documents of an official character that had escaped the notice of every other writer. This Journal was destroyed, with the library of the author, in the great fire at Richmond in 1865.
